Chapter 1: Call for Ideas

I’m embarking on an exciting experiment and I need your input, dear readers and writers! Please share your suggestions in the comments section!

I’m launching a series of articles dedicated to examining the future of various subjects. What subjects, you ask? I’m unsure, which is why I’m eager for your thoughts on what you’d like me to speculate about regarding the future in our modern world.

Documentaries that explore potential scenarios for human civilization in the coming decades have always captivated me. Whether it’s 10, 20, 30, or even 50 years from now, the possibilities are intriguing.

While this endeavor might turn out to be a colossal failure, I believe it’s worth a shot!

Though I’m not a professional futurist—those specialists who attempt to predict how the future might unfold—I’m inspired by their work. The field of Futurology focuses on the “3 P’s”: possible, probable, and preferable futures. I plan to incorporate these concepts into my writings.

Additionally, a significant aspect of futurology involves risk management and evaluating uncertainty. The recent global events, including the pandemic, have made it clear that uncertainty is the only certainty we can rely on.

So, without further delay, I invite you to share your ideas for topics related to the future! These can be specific subjects or broader themes. I’m eager to see what you propose! (Please note that while I appreciate all suggestions, I may not be able to write about every one due to the availability of information.)
